About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

461 Ocean Boulevard is Eric Clapton's second studio solo album, arriving after his side project of Derek and the Dominos and a long struggle with heroin addiction. Although there are some new reggae influences, the album doesn't sound all that different from the rock, pop, blues, country, and R&B amalgam of Eric Clapton. However, 461 Ocean Boulevard is a tighter, more focused outing that enables Clapton to stretch out instrumentally. Furthermore, the pop concessions on the album -- the sleek production, the concise running times -- don't detract from the rootsy origins of the material, whether it's Johnny Otis' "Willie and the Hand Jive," the traditional blues "Motherless Children," Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff," or Clapton's emotional original "Let It Grow." With its relaxed, friendly atmosphere and strong bluesy roots, 461 Ocean Boulevard set the template for Clapton's '70s albums. Though he tried hard to make an album exactly like it, he never quite managed to replicate its charms. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Customer Reviews

A must have Clapton albumby JohnQ

Reader Rating:
See Detailed Ratings

July 25, 2009: This CD has the original album and as such is better than the double CD version with the largely unnecessary and distracting bonus tracks. This is a more mellow Clapton but there is nothing wrong with that and the songs here are very good, with the inclusion of his version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" it becomes a classic.

Track 7by Anonymous

May 31, 2000: Track 7 is true genius, Bob Dylan would be proud of this, well writen, soul full, emotional song. The best track on this album and one of Clapton's overall best. The album on a hole is true Clapton, and true quality.
